THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO J&J MEDTECH ORTHOPAEDICS FOR EVALUATION. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED SAMPLE REVEALED THAT COR/TRI ANT STEM INSERT SHAFT HAD THE DISTAL TIP BROKEN. FRAGMENT WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. THE OBSERVED CONDITION OF THE DEVICE WAS CONSISTENT WITH A RANDOM COMPONENT FAILURE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO UNINTENDED FORCES SUCH AS REPEATED SLIGHTLY OFF-AXIS IMPACTION RESULTING IN CYCLIC BENDING LOADING OF THE INSERTER TIP THAT EXCEEDED THE FATIGUE STRENGTH OF THE MATERIAL. A FUNCTIONAL TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED SINCE IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE COMPLAINT CONDITION. A DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION WAS NOT PERFORMED SINCE IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE COMPLAINT CONDITION. THE OVERALL COMPLAINT WAS CONFIRMED AS THE OBSERVED CONDITION OF THE COR/TRI ANT STEM INSERT SHAFT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMPLAINED DEVICE ISSUE. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS, THE POTENTIAL CAUSE IS TRACED TO UNINTENDED USE ERROR, AND IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT NO CORRECTIVE AND/OR PREVENTATIVE ACTION IS REQUIRED. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE HAS CAUSED THE REPORTED COMPLAINT CONDITION. AS PART OF J&J MEDTECH ORTHOPAEDICS QUALITY PROCESS, ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS.
